Blocking Sets and Derivable Partial Spreads
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that a GF(q)-linear Rédei blocking set of size qt + qt−1 + · · · + q + 1 of PG(2, qt ) defines a derivable partial spread of PG(2t − 1, q). Using such a relationship, we are able to prove that there are at least two inequivalent Rédei minimal blocking sets of size qt + qt−1 + · · · + q + 1 in PG(2, qt ), if t ≥ 4.

Blocking sets in PG(2,/>) for small p, and partial spreads inPG(3,7)
We find all minimal blocking sets of size \ (p + 1) in PG(2, p) for p < 41. There is one new sporadic example, for p — 13. We find all maximal partial spreads of size 45 in
متن کاملMinimal blocking sets in PG(2, 9)
We classify the minimal blocking sets of size 15 in PG(2, 9). We show that the only examples are the projective triangle and the sporadic example arising from the secants to the unique complete 6-arc in PG(2, 9). This classification was used to solve the open problem of the existence of maximal partial spreads of size 76 in PG(3, 9). No such maximal partial spreads exist [13]. In [14], also the...
متن کاملOn the non-existence of a maximal partial spread of size 76 in PG(3, 9)
We prove the non-existence of maximal partial spreads of size 76 in PG(3, 9). Relying on the classification of the minimal blocking sets of size 15 in PG(2, 9) [22], we show that there are only two possibilities for the set of holes of such a maximal partial spread. The weight argument of Blokhuis and Metsch [3] then shows that these sets cannot be the set of holes of a maximal partial spread o...
متن کاملSets of generators blocking all generators in finite classical polar spaces
We introduce generator blocking sets of finite classical polar spaces. These sets are a generalisation of maximal partial spreads. We prove a characterization of these minimal sets of the polar spaces Q(2n, q), Q(2n + 1, q) and H(2n, q), in terms of cones with vertex a subspace contained in the polar space and with base a generator blocking set in a polar space of rank 2. keywords: partial spre...
